Every year, the defending champion undoubtedly faces a difficult mindset going into a major tournament. Scottie Scheffler is will be looking to win his third Masters title this year.

Billy Troy, golf fitness physio, recently updated fans on Scheffler's preparations for Augusta. Troy revealed that the 28-year-old has been working hard in preparation for the first major of the year. He wrote on his Instagram:

"Prior to the tournament, load should be decreased, and a full range of motion is a key focus. Complete rest isn't suggested as you may have symptoms of detraining. Training consistency leads to better movement, more strength, and decreased injury risk."

Scheffler was also spotted at Augusta National for a practice round on April 6. He was also seen presenting awards to the winners of the Drive, Chip, and Putt championships.
